Kuch Ladke Firing Hi Kar Dena - Pakistan TV Panelist

On ARY News, host Waseem Badami asked if the team could succeed by giving their best, and the panelist shockingly replied that the players could “start firing” to end the match, adding that Pakistan’s loss was inevitable.

"Sir agar ladke yaha se jaan maare to kya hum jeet sakte hain? (Sir, if our boys give it their all, can they win from here?)," he said.

"Mere khayal mein ya to ye karde ya kuch ladke firing hi kar dena idhar match he khatam karo kyuki confirm hai hum harenge. (I think either they should give it their all or the boys can do some firing and end the match because it's confirmed that we are losing from here)," the panelist replied.

The situation escalated as the panellist even laughed after the controversial remark. Former Pakistan cricketers Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal were also part of the discussion.
